MomoCon returned to the Georgia World Congress Center Thursday, May 25 – Sunday, May 28. MomoCon smashed its own attendance record with 48,000+ unique visitors attending the convention during Memorial Day Weekend convention. That represented a 15 percent jump from 2022.
At MomoCon I saw some amazing cosplayers from around the world and met people showing love for characters from all types of pop culture, comics, anime, and video games.
I took some time to show some love to the togs and videographers in a video. Featured are @dtjaaaam and @modernanimator. I was also lucky to spend some time talking with DMC from the famous Run DMC. He spoke about his love for comics and why he started making his own comics.
I was also able to do some press interviews with cosplay guests Yaya Han and @dominycanknyght.
It was my pleasure to also interview a cosplayer I have known since 2018. @aquariustaughtme is an amazing cosplayer and was the inspiration in my choosing to cosplay Nightcrawler after seeing just how good a black man could look in blue. I told him as much in my interview with him.
I also got a chance to meet the wonderful @fantasticfrankey who is one of my go to social media personalities for all things pop culture.
It is widely known that my favorite artist is @marcusthevisual and I got a chance to catch up with him. He made an announcement just a few days before MomoCon that he completed a variant cover on the latest Static issue and he actually saved one for me. I have cosplayed one of his designs and he saw it in person at ECCC. I am working on a new design he completed and he is very much looking forward to seeing it in person at Blerdcon. I can’t wait to debut it.
Everyone knows me as A-Train and at times I feel I have taken A-Train as far as I can go but I am often wrong. At this con I was able to debut the graphic novel version of A-Train as a tribute to the original co-creator Darick Robertson. He has been so supportive of me as a cosplayer and I got the official approval from him. That means a lot to me.
It was also fun being a part of the attempt to break the Spider-Man cosplay world record. You may recognize a familiar face here.

Of course we had to have some fun on TikTok and did just that with a well known Training Day audio from Denzel Washington.
